| - It may have been up to 109 degrees during this June Vegas trip, but undoubtedly the hottest thing around was the super haute and sexy Cromwell.
Already one of my favorites after just one stay, I've officially added The Cromwell to my shortlist of go-to hotels in Vegas. If you're seeking luxury without the chaos and crowds associated with staying at a grand hotel that has a few thousand rooms, then this boutique is the way to go as it has less than 200 rooms! Located in the center of The Strip with a pedestrian walkway directly to Caesars Palace, it puts you in the thick of the action if you want it, while also allowing you to take refuge at what almost feels like an exclusive destination. Here, you can walk about freely without getting hit in the head by some idiot's selfie stick, and use the elevators without feeling like you're inadvertently grinding the stranger behind you.
HOSPITALITY: after settling in our room, we received a knock at the door and were pleasantly surprised to find a staff member with a delivery of 2 cookies from Giada! He also went over our options for the next day's complimentary VIP breakfast via room service, and we couldn't hide the smiles from our faces. This wasn't the typical hotel Continental Breakfast either, as one meal featured a chocolate vegan donut and other pastries from Giada also! Ok, enough about Giada, I promise. Speaking of complimentary offerings though, Cromwell also has a coffee and tea service on the 1st floor near the elevator. All hotel employees from the front desk to the housekeeper that filled my ice bucket (you have to request this as the ice machine is not accessible) treated us as if we were special guests.
ROOM: we stayed in a "Luxury Room" resembling a high-end Parisian inspired apartment. It's the epitome of 'styling & profiling' with a chic design in a more intimate setting. During the day it can be quite dim, but at night with the lights on an array of colors shine large, such as the purple chair or the deep red leather headboard that tempted me to want to stay inside the room longer. For the ladies (or guys that are really into themselves) there's a large vanity area with a Hollywood-style lit mirror that includes a hair straightener. This is a Princess spot that she'll enjoy so much it'll probably now take her over 3 hours to get ready. Oh well...while she's taking forever you can always take a long hot shower complete with rainfall shower head, or check out the window view. The walls were indeed somewhat thin as alluded to by others, but we had no distractions at night and noise/music did not keep us from sleeping, despite our room being on the 8th floor, just below Drai's.
HOTEL: we didn't spend lots of time at the casino, as we enjoyed the room and dinner at Giada later that night (ok, I guess I broke my promise about not mentioning her more). Cromwell is popular for Drai's Beach Club, Drai's Nightclub, and Drai's After Hours, and I'd be remissed if I didn't also note, Giada (haha).
With an excellent rate and complimentary amenities, this was a real steal. It is Vegas though, so pick your deals at the right time, as prices vary greatly depending on the date. Or, just visit Cromwell to dine at the restaurant there - not 100% confirmed but I believe the name of it might start with a G.
